JCT Contracts and the impact of COVID-19

An emerging area of interest for architects is the significant impact COVID-19 is having upon construction contracts in Northern Ireland. 

Whilst many construction sites have been closed for a number of weeks, some have now re-opened and many more are due to re-open soon (albeit with social distancing etc).  In order to support members, RSUA has organised a seminar to look at the JCT contractual requirements in dealing with the coronavirus.  Note – RSUA is trialling recording of CPD events for members and this session will be recorded

Course Content

This seminar will consider and advise on:

• Disruption to the Contract
• Payment clauses
• Extension of Time clauses
• Termination clauses
• The Relevant Events
• The Relevant Matters
• Time & Money? – Both or Neither
• Notification
• Assessing Extensions of Time
• Assessing Loss and/or Expense
